At this point, I just go for a drive around the block, maybe overkill but it's a nice little breather that reduces hair loss.

The thing I'm realizing is that I might have to spring for a more accurate camber gauge, my wallet hurts because of all this money I'm saving.



If I value my time at $10/hour, tally up money spent on materials, we could have probably gotten >5x alignments at a pro shop. But it's the perfectionist part of you, I'm the kind of guy who wants to move it 1/10th of a degree for the next event, as I'm sure you are as well. Being confined to 2x alignments per year because of budget would be agonizing.

Edit: Yes, life would be so much easier if we could use aftermarket toe links. C'est la vie.

Hey, maybe it's worth running for locals just to find your settings, switch back to OE for when it matters.
